How would a real-time 1v1 game work on the EOS Blockchain? I've noticed that many of the games/gambling dapps on EOS are mostly player vs. blockchain, like EOSBet.

Could I have real-time updates to multi-indexed tables using just eos.io, or would you need a backend server for all players in the game?

I know dfuse.io provides a direct streaming service, would it be possible to use that as a part of your stack? I've looked at it, but I am confused on how to exactly use it.

dfuse provides streaming table deltas, indeed. Start at docs.dfuse.io and join the Telegram channel for any help.

The streaming deltas is through the websocket, using "get_table_rows". It can also provide a snapshot of the whole table before starting to stream the deltas (with fetch: true).

Hope this helps!

  • So I could solely use dfuse.io with eos and not have to make a separate backend for something like a simple dice game?
